ENTERTAINMENTS.
JACQUES OPERA HOUSE.

The celebrated comedians, Monroe and Rice, will appear at the opera house this evening, in My Aunt Bridget" This from the New York Herald ought to be a guar antee of full house: ''The feature of which, beyond all others, the comedy bril- liant, My Aunt Bridget deserves special mention in that naturalness and ease of it's most ludicrous situations. They are equal to Daly's happiest thoughts. We laugh, and actually can't tell the reason. Its musical members are of light, catchy, brilliant character which characterized Gilbert and Sullivans best efforts Monroe and Rice are old favorites in New York and Monday nights performance added another successful link to the long chain of their brilliant career.n

BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT. The Waterbury Cases That Were Argued
 Yesterday.

General Kellogg, appearing for the plain, tiffs and Attorneys J. w. Webster and John O'Neil for the defendants were before the supreme court of errors in New Haven, yesterday arguing the case of Chase, ct al, executors against $. w. Hall. By the will of s. w. Hall $10,000 was bequeathed to Nelson for life, with remainder to the children of H. P. Hall. Nelson Hall re- ceived $3, 500 in cash and the balance in stock of the Waterbury national bank,
 which would otherwise have been sold to pay the legacy. He included the stock among his personal assets, and entered an item of S1O,OO0 against his estate in favor of the estate of s. w. Hall. Nelson Hall died recently and the superior court de- cided that his estate was not bound to de- liver up the bank stock, but was indebted to the estate of s. w. Hall in the sum of SIG, ,O00, and the case comes to the supreme court on appeal.
 City Attorney Terry appeared for the state and Attorney O'Neil and Donahue for the defense in the case of state against
 Marcus Helmann, who was convicted in the police court for keeping his saloon open after ii o'clock. He was fined $25 and the judgment was sustained by the superior court in which tribunal it was shown by the evidence that the defendant kept his saloon open after Ii o'clock, but did not keep it open after 12 o'clock at night, Prior to the date of the alleged of fense, the selectmen had passed vote fix 1 ing 12 o'clock as the time for closing saloons. The city authorities took no action | on the matter until some time subsequent 1 to the date of the alleged offense. The de- | fendant claimed and asked Judge Torrance
 to charge that he was justified in keeping
 his saloon open in consequence of the vote
 of the selectmen. Judge Torrance refused
 to grant the request and instructed the jury
 that the action of the selectmen did not 1 justify the defendant in keeping a saloon
 situated within the city limits open after ] il o'clock. The defendant claims that
 Judge Torrance erred in the above ruling
 and therefore brings the case to the
 supreme court. Many liquor dealers are
 interested in the decision and it will
 be awaited with interest. In Hartford the
 seclectmen voted in favor of 12 o'clock fol
 the closing hour and the court of Common
 Council asked for the opinion of the city
 attorney on the subject, and that officia gave it as his opinion that the intent of tht
 statute was to leave the matter to tht
 town and not to municipal governments.

The Hartford polo team went to Meriden last evening, and to the surprise of every body, beat Does dandies 6 to 2.
 The report that Demsey and Reagan had fought their battle early yesterday morning near Boston has proved to be untrue.
 Tbe Boston management are perfectly satisfied that John Morrill, makes better captain than Michael Joseph Kelley, and will continue him in that position next year.
 The big baseball meeting begins at Gin cinnati this evening" The arbitration com mittee will go in session and settle the question of whether the minor leagues should receive protection.
 The following are the positions of the Waterbury polo team in their game with the Hartfords, at Hartford tonight: Gun ningham, first rush; Griffith, second rush; Hill, center; Frazier, half-back; McKie, goal.
 The St. Louis club will have so many new faces on it next season that it will hardly be recognized. Dude Latham and his mouth will be with them, however, and when he skips into the coacher's box and speaks once or twice the crowd will know who they are.
 The four new clubs of the central league will probably be located in Danbury, Water bury, Binghamton, and either Elmira ol Allentown. The first three places are good ball towns and will no doubt put strong clubs in the field; of the last two, Allen town is by far better able to support club while Elmira has the advantage of being on the direct line of railroad The selec ton of either town will form more com pact league than the old International, ane one sufficiently strong to furnish fine ex hibitions to the patrons of the game in tn. different cities.-Scranton Free Press

A Long Accepted Ruling Upset.

The supreme court of errors has rendered decision in the case of Thomas Daly vs Edwin o. Dimock, which upsets the long accepted ruling that the evidence taken be- fore coroner is solely for the use of the state attorney, the court holding that it may be had on application Daily, the plaintiff in this case, is under in dictment for the murder of his hired man, and his attorney asked to see the evidence brought out before the coroner Dimock, the clerk of the superior court, refused to produce the evidence and the matter was by mutual consent submitted to the s1.- preme court
